What facts do we know about volunteering in Scotland?

On International Day of Disabled People, we are delighted to be part of the UN’s 16 days of action against gender-based violence, by taking this opportunity to highlight the strength and tenacity of disabled women, who make up over 60% of our membership, 50% of our board and who have held leading roles driving forwards human rights for all disabled people, since the organisation was founded in 2001 – and long before that as well!

The Women’s Support Project is based in Glasgow and works across Scotland to raise awareness of violence against women, and to support improved services for those affected.

Today, Wednesday 25th November, is International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women.
